Has anyone else hit this error during a remote deploy? I couldn't any useful related issue.

@hexa:lossy.networkhexarunning into this situation on nixos 25.11 in nixos/infra23:00:40
@hexa:lossy.networkhexawhy does the nix team not own the nix module? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/44043823:28:36
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaculprit was https://github.com/helsinki-systems/hydra-queue-runner/blob/master/builder-module.nix#L27823:43:16
@hexa:lossy.networkhexawhich likely does not compose23:43:27
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Ordering of options might matter?23:44:06
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaif it did that would be wild23:44:23
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)extra- appends probably but the regular experimental-options sets it? Dunno, just a hunch23:44:52
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)But that would be in-line with my expectations23:45:07
@hexa:lossy.networkhexahttps://github.com/helsinki-systems/hydra-queue-runner/pull/5/changes/7184ac1e00b1cb87f1c583325758b27b2da1a939 makes it work23:48:09

@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforevertoday i learned that binfmt-misc can be set per-userns https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/21ca59b365c091d583f36ac753eaa8baf947be6f17:36:56
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeveri wonder if anyone has looked into using this to isolate emulated builds. currently having binfmt-misc emulators enabled contaminates all the build sandboxes. if we can run builds each with a different set of binfmt-misc emulators that would be a huge improvement over the status quo (and i can get over my fear of enabling emulators on my machine)17:38:53
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeverseems like we already run builds in a new userns if possible?17:40:27
@k900:0upti.meK900I do not remember how but binfmt userns is somehow fucked17:45:13
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforevercan we at least disable them for non-emulated builds or something17:47:14
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeverwell, guess i'm going to be wasting weekends looking into how fucked it is17:51:56
